Among the many important cultural aspects of Oaxaca is the legacy of shamanism and spiritual cleansings and healing. Indigenous communities are more likely to have a shaman rather than a physician and, in general, most Oaxacan people connect with healers, shaman, curanderos and herb specialists for most ailments whether physical, emotional or spiritual. Many come to Oaxaca just for the above, and we have a network of places where we can direct you to, whether you need a temazcal sweat lodge, a hot tub therapy or a herbal cleansing.
